Wondering who to start and who to sit? To guide your fantasy football lineups and avoid starting inactive players, we will provide fantasy-relevant updates and analysis as NFL teams release official inactives lists. Any rankings mentioned in this column are from our
ESPN Fantasy staff ranks.
Official Sunday inactives are expected to come in around 90 minutes prior to the scheduled kickoff times: around 8 a.m. ET for the Germany game, 11:30 a.m. ET for the early games, and 2:30 p.m. ET for the late-afternoon games.
Refresh frequently for the latest information.
9:30 a.m. ET
Alec Pierce, WR, IND — Active
Impact: Pierce should see his normal workload in Sunday’s game from Germany.
Josh Downs, WR, IND — Active
Impact: Expect Isaiah McKenzie to see more action as Downs did not practice all week and may be on a “snap count” today.
Demario Douglas, WR, NE — Active
Impact: He will be playing, but Kayshon Boutte is also (finally!) active, so there might not be enough targets for Douglas to merit a fantasy start.
DeVante Parker, WR, NE — OUT
Impact: He didn’t travel with the team, leaving the door open for Jalen Reagor to get some looks.
1 p.m. ET games
Keaton Mitchell, RB, BAL — Questionable
Impact: Mitchell is expected to play and split carries with Gus Edwards.
